Going abroad on holiday? Part 2

HealthMap is ingenious.

Based on media stories from a range of sources, disease alerts are automatically placed on a map.

So it's useful for a global view of disease outbreaks.

But you can also zoom in to a particular country, or to limit the view to a particular disease.

So you could use it to track the latest news on outbreaks of C.diff and MRSA in the UK. It's easy to get through to the original news stories in just a couple of clicks.
